In its first years of 1922 and 1923, it only ran seasonally between April and November. Daily service began in July of 1923, and in 1924 SP shortened the run to 12 hours. Until the late 1920s the Daylight made no intermediate stops and was the longest nonstop run in the world at the time.
After 1955 the Daylights were running Diesel, long after most other streamlined lines had switched over.

Note: The Daylight went through a few name changes in its lifetime, I called it just "Daylight" for simplicity's sake, you can see more information in the Wikipedia page.
